Herrera, Scanlan Bidg., Houston, Texas , /~B^ - Ik fL^ ff / // f 5? ; / A- Ti ^'1 Dear J0hn*j \ Do you want to send your personal greetings to Evita in Buenos Aires? If you do, I will be glad to deli- ver them for you in person. I am going to Argentina at the end. of this month to an International Congress of Philosophy as a delegate from the University of Texas. According to present plans I leave here Sunday, March 27 at noon and arrive in Houston about 12;0S, where I will be until A:00 when I continue my flight to Mexico City and hence to Balboa, Lima,and Santiago de Chile, to hop across the Andes to Mendosa. I have to be there hy March 30 and remain until about April 10, 0n the way back I'll come back by Buenos Aires and Rio, with a short stop over. H0w is that for a hop around south America and then back by Miami to Houston again? Listen J0hnny, please let me know if they have a Chilean Consul in Houston? 1 know they have a Brazilian and an Argentinan consul and I have already written them about visas for 115/ passport, but I have to get a Chilean Visa also. Won't you please find out right away and tell me where the nearest one is located? Maybe it is New Orleans. I may send you my passport next week for you to get the Argentine and Brazilian Consulates to visa./ the thing and then send it back "pronto" as the time is getting short. Let me hear from you by return mail, or I'll drop you from n^,r friend list. Best wishes and kindest regards CJUL \
